BluegrassRiver:

You are making a big mistake mixing the terms evangelicals and conservative fundamentalists. Those of you with little understanding of Christianity often make this mistake particularly the national writers. Actually, the Falwells and Dobsons don't speak for me as a Christian. They are political organizations working to elect Republicans. They are not religious organizations in my mind. They don't like the fact I belong to a mainstream denomination and belittle it.

Rev. Jim Wallis of www.sojo.net once said the term evangelical has been kidnapped by the political based religious fundamentalists

I was perhaps a bit glib in making the association between evangelicals and those who wish to impose their morals on others via the government. But, I am disturbed that more evangelicals aren't speaking out against these groups.

I don't have a problem with evangelicals who are tolerant of my beliefs; I do have a problem with evangelicals who tell me that I'm going to hell because I don't subscribe to their dogma.
